CASE STUDY Smart Solutions for a Maritime Metropolis
Bristol, one of the UK’s biggest and most vibrant cities, is making a £12 million upgrade to its lighting system , including converting around 29,000 street lights to low-energy LED luminiares, and installing the Schréder EXEDRA CMS. Having declared a climate emergency in 2018, the council is upgrading to LEDs to support carbon reduction and achieve cost savings in the longer term. One key consideration is cybersecurity. In the UK, public realm and street lighting is treated as critical infrastructure, and Schréder has built security by design into all our systems. Having Schréder on board means that customers have access to a wealth of cybersecurity experience. For example, in June 2023, a vulnerability was discovered in the MOVEit app , which the council had been using. Thanks to Schréder EXEDRA , we were able to swiftly show that their data hadn’t been compromised. This responsiveness is part of the ongoing customer relationship that makes Schréder different. Schréder EXEDRA has ISO 27001 certification, meaning we continually improve our cybersecurity processes and ensure our staff are up-to-date with the latest best practices in the field. Worldwide, more than 500,000 luminaires and other assets are controlled by Schréder EXEDRA; we learn from every data point and always put cybersecurity first.
